Graphite Donations Needed
Rex Gismond reported at the June meeting that the troops in Iraq need small tubes (6.5 grams) of graphite and that he has sent 150 tubes to Iraq. Graphite reportedly works better than the standard Army lubricants in the harsh and dusty conditions in Iraq. $81.00 in donations was collected at the meeting to purchase more tubes. Rex is negotiating with two graphite manufacturers to obtain a better cost. Anyone wishing to make a donation may send a check to the club post office box.
In addition, a motion was made, seconded and passed to have the club match dollar for dollar all donations received for graphite tubes by the August 9 club meeting.

Range News
George Rhoad reported at the June meeting that all of the dirt work on lower range #2 (Smallbore Silhouette) appears to be completed.

Reloader Drawing
Kevin Greb said he could purchase a Hornady progressive pistol cartridge reloader model #366 at a good price and the club could have a drawing. The profit from the drawing could be split 50/50 with the Friends of the NRA. 100 tickets will be offered at $10.00 each.
